These variables were analyzed as time-dependent.

**

Viral load was analyzed as a continuous variable.

All variables in Table 1 were used for the univariate analysis. Co-pathogen and ribavirin use at diagnosis of URTI/possible LRTD were included in the analysis. Only variables with p < 0.05 in any analysis are shown in this table. The following parameters were also shown regardless of p values; steroid dose after diagnosis, ribabirin use.
